GREY-BRUCE — The Community Foundation Grey Bruce will be hosting an online, interactive conversation on Thursday, Dec. 1 from 4-6 p.m. The event will discuss findings from the Vital Focus on Housing report that was released in May 2022 and give a deeper perspective on housing in Grey and Bruce counties.
Residents are encouraged to join the conversation and share their experiences, and hear about how innovation and community projects are addressing the current housing crisis. This event is supported by Leith Wheeler Investment Counsel Ltd.
The online session will be facilitated by Melri Wright and Mike Wright of Ledge Leadership. The meeting will take a World Café style sharing knowledge and creating possibilities for action built on the notion of group intelligence. Participants will hear insights from inspiring local guest speakers and will have the chance to participate in smaller group discussions on relevant topics.
Participants will hear from guest presenters:
– Tania Dickson, housing services manager, and Jack Van Dorp, manager of land use planning, sharing about the Affordable Housing 101 Toolkit created by Bruce County.
– Erica Phipps, researcher and advocate, sharing survey results collected by the RentSafe Owen Sound Collaborative.
– Marilyn Struthers, Institute of Southern Georgian Bay, sharing reflections from the National Financialization of Housing Lab on what could help our municipalities to cope with the housing crisis.
